我国公民体育权利发展研究——从实施《国家人权行动计划》引发的思考

公民体育权利是人权的基本组成部分,《国家人权行动计划》的实施将进一步推动我国公民体育权利的实现和人权事业的发展。当前,我国政府是实现公民体育权利主要推进者,但存在政府行为"失范"等问题,亟需改革;快速发展的生产力为我国公民体育权利实现提供坚实的物质保障,但公民可利用的体育物质资源不充分,亟需丰富;不断建立健全的法律法规体系是实现公民体育权利坚实的法律基础,但存在诸多问题亟待完善。而随着《国家人权行动计划》的实施和社会的进步,公民体育权利势必逐步得到充分的实现,从而促进和谐社会的构建和人权事业的发展,加快我国迈向体育强国的步伐。

论国家人权行动计划实施对绿色矿山建设的推动作用

绿色矿山建设是我国矿山发展的新型模式,推动我国绿色矿山的大力发展很有必要。以国务院发布的《国家人权行动计划(2012～2015年)》为契机,抢抓机遇在矿山率先努力践行该计划,不仅利于国家人权行动计划的落实,践行以人为本的科学发展观,促进矿山人文环境的大力改善,而且通过《国家人权行动计划(2012～2015年)》的具体实施推动我国绿色矿山的向前发展,为我国绿色矿山建设注入新的活力。

《国家人权行动计划》背景下民族高校人权法教育研究

人权法是其他一切法学学科的"统领",因而,一切法学学生都应该学习人权法。民族高校的人权法教育既可以培养学生的人文精神,又可以促成国家和各民族长期的、稳定的、可持续的发展。由于师资、资金、思想观念、研究方法等方面的原因,民族高校的人权法教育状况不是很乐观。在《国家人权行动计划》背景下,民族高校的人权法教育应在加强少数民族人权法的教学与研究、优化人权法课程的设置、加强实践性教学环节、争取民族高校各部门的大力支持等方面加以完善。

国际衔接与本土融合:对各国人权行动计划的考察及思考

1993年世界人权大会以来,已经至少有38个国家制定了55期国家人权行动计划。如何做到既充分借鉴国际社会中保障人权的有益经验,又与本国人权环境相吻合,是各国在制定和实施人权行动计划过程中需要特别处理好的一对关键问题。从各国行动计划的内容以及参加联合国普遍定期审议的情况来看,人权行动计划的国际衔接主要表现为与国际人权机制的衔接、对国际人权经验的学习、与国际人权项目的合作三个方面。与本土环境的融合则主要是强调了对本国的历史发展阶段的定位、自然基础、对文化传统的传承,以及与其他政策的融合等。中国制定和实施国家人权行动计划,对于国内政策的"人权化"整合和解读、国际人权形象的提高具有显著促进作用,应进一步完善各种机制,加强国际交流与对话,促进中国人权事业的更好发展。

人权理念下的农民土地权利保护

研究目的:以中国首部《国家人权行动计划》(2009—2010年)确立的农民土地权利保障目标为依据,探究人权理念下农民土地权利保护的应有完善。研究方法:人权法与物权法交叉视角下的文献资料法,规范分析与实证分析相结合。研究结果:农民土地权利具有特殊的人权价值,虽然对其保护取得成就,但其进步中的问题仍然突出,以征地和乡土势力严重侵害农民土地权利并影响农民的生存与发展为甚。欲充分保障农民在土地上的人权,必先寻求此问题的破解之道。研究结论:在尊重和保护农民人权的时代诉求下,农民土地权利的保护更需不断强化赋权后的维权功效、充分实现征地中的还权于民。
